Mambo ya Walawi 20
1 Yahweh akazungumza na Musa, akasema,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Waambie watu wa Waisraeli, 'mtu yeyote miongoni mwa watu Israeli, au Mgeni yeyote anayeishi miongoni mwa Waisraeli atakayemtoa mtoto wake yeyote kwa Moleki, hakika atauawa. Ni lazima watu wa nchi wamponde kwa mawe.
Moreover, thou shall say to the sons of Israel, Whoever he is of the sons of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who gives of his seed to Molech, he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones.
3 Pia nitaukaza uso wangu dhidi ya mtu huyo na kumkatilia mbali kutoka miongoni mwa watu wake kwa sababu amemtoa mtoto wake kwa Moleki, ili kupatia unajisi mahali pangu patakatifu na kulinajisi jina langu takatifu.
I also will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given of his seed to Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
4 Na kama watu wa nchi watayafumba macho yao kwa mtu huyo anapomtoa mmoja wa watoto wake kwa Moleki, kama hawatamwua mtu huyo, ndipo Mimi mwenyewe nitaukaza uso wangu dhidi ya mtu huyo na ukoo wake,
And if the people at the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he gives of his seed to Molech, and do not put him to death,
5 Nami nitamkatilia mbali pamoja na yeyote anayejifanya kahaba ili kufanya umalaya na Moleki.
then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the harlot after him, to play the harlot with Molech, from among their people.
6 Mtu yule anayewageukia wanaozungumza na wafu, au na wale wanaozungumza na roho ili kufanya ukahaba nao, Nitakaza uso wangu dhidi ya mtu huyo; Nami nitamkatilia mbali atoke miongoni mwa watu wake.
And the soul that turns to those who have familiar spirits, and to the wizards, to play the harlot after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 Kwa hiyo jitakaseni wenyewe na muwe watakatifu, kwa sababu Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu.
Sanctify yourselves therefore, and become ye holy, for I am Jehovah your God.
8 Mtazitunza amari zangu na kuzifuta. Mimi ndimi Yahweh anayewatenga ninyi muwe watakatifu.
And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them. I am Jehovah who sanctifies you.
9 Yeyote amlaaniye baba yake au mama yake hakika mtu huyo atauawa. Amemlaani baba yake au mama yake, kwa hiyo ana hatia na anastahili kufa.
For he who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
10 Mwanaume yeyote afanyaye uzinzi na mke wa mwanaume mwingine, yaani, yeyote anayezini na mke wa jirani yake—yule mwanaume mzinzi na mwanamke mzinzi ni lazima wote wawili wauawe.
And the man who commits adultery with another man's wife, even he who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
11 Mwanaume yeyote anayelala na mke wa baba yake ili kukutana naye kimwili amemfedhehesha baba yake mwenye. Wote wawili; mwana huyo na mke huyo wa baba yake kwa hakika watauawa. wanahatia na wanastahili kufa.
And the man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness. Both of them shall surely be put to death, their blood shall be upon them.

14 Ikiwa mwanaume atamwoa mwanamke na pia akamwoa mama wa mwanamke huyo, huu ni uovu. Ni lazima wachomwe kwa moto, wote wawili, mwanaume huyo na manamke huyo, ili kwamba hapatakuwepo na uovu miongoni mwenu.
And if a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burnt with fire, both he and they, that there be no wickedness among you.
15 Ikiwa mwanaume analala na mnyama, hakika atauawa, ni lazima mumuue na mnyama huyo pia.
And if a man lies with a beast, he shall surely be put to death, and ye shall kill the beast.

17 Ikiwa mwanaume analala na dada yake, ama ni binti ya baba yake au binti ya mama yake—ikiwa wamelala pamoja, hilo ni jambo la aibu. Ni lazima wakatiliwe mbali watoke machoni pa watu wao, kwa sababu amelala na dada yake. Ni lazima aibebe hatia yake.
And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness, it is a shameful thing, and they shall be cut off in the sight of the sons of their people. He has uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
18 Kama mwanaume analala na mwanamke katika kipindi cha hedhi yake, na amekutana naye kimwili, atakuwa amefunua mtiririko wa damu yake, chanzo cha damu yake. Ni lizima wote wawili wakatiliwe mbali kutoka mingoni mwa watu wao.
And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness, he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. And both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them, that the land, where I bring you to dwell in it, not vomit you out.
23 Msienende katika desturi za mataifa ambayo nitayafukuza mbele yenu, ni kwa sababu wamefanya mambo haya yote, nami mimewachukia wao.
And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I cast out before you, for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
24 Nami nikawaambia ninyi, “Mtaimiliki nchi yao, nitaitoa kwenu ili muimiliki, nchi itiririkayo amaziwa na asali. Mimi ndimi Yahweh Mungu wenu, aliyewatenga nyinyi kutoka kwa watu wengine.
But I have said to you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am Jehovah your God, who has separated you from the peoples.
25 Ni lazima pia mtofautishe kati ya wanya najisi na wale walio safi, na kati ya ndege walio najisi na walio safi. Msijichafue wenyewe kwa wanyama au ndege au kiumbe kitambaacho juu ya nchi kilicho najisi, ambacho nimekitenga kuwa najisi.
Ye shall therefore make a distinction between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean. And ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you as unclean.
26 Mtakuwa watakatifu, kwa kuwa Mimi, Yahweh, ni mtakakatifu, nami nimewatenga nyinyi kutoka kwa watu wengine, kwa kuwa nyinyi ni wangu.
And ye shall be holy to me, for I, Jehovah, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that ye should be mine.
27 Mwanaume au mwanamke anayeongea na wafu au anayeongea na roho hakika atauawa. Watu watawaponda kwa mawe. Wanayo hatia na wanastahili kufa.
A man or also a woman who has a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death. They shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.
